Hi, the zAAP processor will only work with zos 1.6 and above, - nothing else ., coming in september, I believe. The problem is that even IBMers ask themselves, which customer will need this. IBM has told everyone to consolidate his applications on zlinux using its really good internet capabilities. They have developed dozens of connectors to the data components on zos (DB2, CICS, IMS etc) Now they tell them to run websphere applications on zos with zAAPs. I would prefer zlinux on IFLs using hipersockets for communication to zos, because I think linux is the better unix than USS on zos and will get even better in future development of hard- and software.
